SpaceTop is a technological and design elucidation that merges 2D and spatial 3D interactions into a single desktop workspace. Extending the traditional desktop interface with the use of interaction technology and visualization techniques, transitioning between 2D and 3D manipulations is a breeze. SpaceTop allows users to type, click, draw in 2D, and directly manipulate interface elements that float in the 3D space above the keyboard.
As the designers say, “It makes it possible to easily switch from one modality to another, or to simultaneously use two modalities with different hands. We introduce hardware and software configurations for co-locating these various interaction modalities in a unified workspace using depth cameras and a transparent display.” The video explains the concept well, have a look….
Designers: Jinha Lee, Alex Olwal, Hiroshi Ishii, and Cati Boulanger
This is something the graphic designers will find hard to resist.
Wow…this looks so cool! So beautiful.
just an amazing concept. This impresses me to no end!
great indeed…but this might take a while to the markets!
This is so cool! Although I am no design freak…I love it! Thanks for sharing this.
Talk about high-tech, high-end creations. this one personifies all things futuristic!
This would use up so much electricity. Are you sure its an eco friendly creation? Or may be this one could be powered by solar energy…then it would be perfect!
I am in love with the design. just so amazing.
Great idea! But will take some time and improvements to make till the final product. A great ideea would be using VR headset instead of the monitor.
Thank you for the feedback.
Indeed a neat idea. Has its feasibility been tested yet?
I am in love with the design. just so amazing.
